I have a Schumacher XP750 battery booster/jumper that does not function at all; no power when an extension cord is plugged in to the male flip-up plug-in in the back. I've read a few complaints about the plug-in becoming broken. I haven't pulled the case apart to test the electronics yet. Is...

I have had this problem with several jacks that I eventually tossed out. I've never gotten too involved in replacing cheap jacks but now I could use a couple. I have 8 jacks, all box store return Torin brand. Every one of them bleed down. Is there a common issue that does this? Such as a seal...

What type of truss system is this? I pulled the old ceiling down to hang drywall/insulate and found the old ceiling was hung on 1x2s which were nailed to the trusses and hanging a couple inches below. I'm not sure if it was done this way to remove load from the bottom cord or if it was a way of...

24' 2x4 Trusses from Menards. 62lbs per sq ft load rating. Garage is 20' x 22'. Steel roofing. Can this handle storage? Bins of clothes and misc items. Probably a good 800 to 1200lbs or so. If not, what can I do to increase the load capacity? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Can I use simple vehicle coolant? Do i need to use a safety blow off valve like in a water heater? The rad is...

Not related to a garage but rather our furnace room. I've been battling the furnace room since I moved in. The tight angle of the water heater draft exhaust has been causing the exhaust to get backdraft upstairs when the air condition unit is on. It sets off the smoke alarm but not the Carbon...

I figured this might be something to ask in the heating forum since it is in relation to heating and Lpg. I found this outside at the neighbors near the woods in a pile of random farm stuff and they let me haul it off. It is a Royal RFS-40 commercial deep fryer. I figured it'd be good in the...

I'm looking to share my experiences and also looking for advice on air compressor mods. I picked up this Husky C602H 60-Gallon 3.7hp 240v air compressor about 6 months ago. I was unable to use it until 2 weeks ago when we finally had power run to the garage. My first attempt at modding is to...
